This information is available in the Fusi book. As I am a few
days behind in Digest perusal, I assume this one has been
answered already

We have in our used parts department a crank or two from just about
all of the 750 through 115 engines. From a purely visual standpoint, I
can tell you that a 1750 crank looks a lot more like a 2000 than it does
a 1600.

Centerline's springs are of our own design, manufactured exclusively for
us by a spring manufacturer in the mid-west. At this point in time, I believe
we are the only folks offering performance oriented springs for the 750/101
series cars. We also offer performance springs for the 105/115 cars. In
both cases, they provide a "tuner car" ride (AMG Mercedes, "M" BMW,
etc) and real world ground clearance. Both sets are designed to mate with
RED Konis.
